Suburbs affected include Westdene and Weltevreden Park.
In Westdene, the planned outage will occur on 5 September from 8am to 4pm. Residents of End Street will not have any water during this time.

Meanwhile, Johannesburg Water has been hard at work restoring water supply to a number of the City’s suburbs that were left either running low or completely dry when an explosion at the Eikenhof substation affected the Rand Water Eikenhof pump station.
Most households have been restored to full supply and those who are still without water should be getting theirs soon.
Hursthill: 1&2 , 50% open from last night. Number 1 will be opened.
Linden 1: Reservoir and tower fully opened and everything back to normal.
Blairgowrie: To be opened. Linden, Bordeaux should start to get water)
Waterval Tower: back to normal, people should start to get water— Johannesburg Water (@JHBWater) August 30, 2018
Residents are encouraged to remain water warriors by using the following tips to save water:
- When brushing your teeth, fill a glass with rinsing water – don’t leave the tap running
- Reduce time spent in the shower, five minutes should be sufficient
- Always use a bucket of water to wash your car instead of a hosepipe
- Fix all leaks in your home.
